Camp Coach - League of Legends

Willem Claassen

I have been playing League of Legends since 2014 when I moved into the city of Barrie Ontario. After graduating High School I went to Humber College where I met many others who had an interest in League of Legends. I kept searching if there was some sort of ‘League of Legends club’ but to my dismay there was none. The community was there, yet there was no one to really bring us together. So I decided I was going to bring the community together myself. Thus founding the ‘League of humber’ League of Legends club.

The club has since been growing and at the time I’m writing this, the club has over 300 active members made up entirely of students. I loved being a leader in a passionate community all sharing something in common, a joy for the same game. I have always had a strong passion for the game I play since my dubious beginnings of a high schooler. Now, I coach/teach others professionally whether they are new or experienced in order to pursue my passion for connecting others in the things we love to do.
